(NEW YORK POST) – The nation’s oldest and longest-serving member of Congress, Republican Rep. Don Young of Alaska, on Thursday announced that he has the coronavirus.
“I have tested positive for COVID-19. I am feeling strong, following proper protocols, working from home in Alaska, and ask for privacy at this time. May God Bless Alaska,” Young, 87, tweeted.
Young is a colorful libertarian-leaning conservative who supports gun rights and federally legalizing marijuana. He called global warming “the biggest scam since the Teapot Dome.”
